Intro |C# B E Emaj7 G#min6|x8

C# B G#
       He seemed no different from the rest
C# B E
       Just a healthy normal boy
C# B G#
       His mama always did her best
C# B E
       And he was his daddy's pride and joy

C# B G#
      He learned to walk and talk on time
C# B E
      But never cared much to be held
C# B G#
      And steadily he would decline
C# B E
      Into his solitary shell.

B (x2444x@1)                  A (x02220@1)             EAs (022100@1)a boy, he was considered somewhat odd.
B (x2444x@1)                            A (x02220@1)   EKept (022100@1)to himself most of the time.
B (x2444x@1)                      A (x02220@1)             EHe (022100@1)would daydream in and out of his own world,
       A (x02220@1)                     BBut (x2444x@1)in every other way, he was fine.

       EHe's (022100@1)a Monday morning lunatic
   BDisturbed (x2444x@1)from time to time.
  ALost (x02220@1)within himself
       E (022100@1)      BIn (x2444x@1)his solitary shell.

ETemporary (022100@1)catatonic
 BMadman (x2444x@1)on occasion
     AWhen (x02220@1)will he break out
       E (022100@1)      B (x2444x@1)       EOf (022100@1)his solitary shell?

|C# B E Emaj7 G#min6|x4

C# B G#
      He struggled to get through his day
C# B E
      He was helplessly behind
C# B G#
      He poured himself onto the page
C# B E
      Writing for hours at a time.

B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EAs (022100@1)a man, he was a danger to himself.
B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EFearful (022100@1)and sad most of the time.
B (x2444x@1)                        A (x02220@1)       EHe (022100@1)was drifting in and out of sanity.
       A (x02220@1)                     BBut (x2444x@1)in every other way, he was fine.

       EHe's (022100@1)a Monday morning lunatic
   BDisturbed (x2444x@1)from time to time
  ALost (x02220@1)within himself
       E (022100@1)      BIn (x2444x@1)his solitary shell

EA (022100@1)momentary maniac
     Bwith (x2444x@1)casual delusions.
AWhen (x02220@1)will he be let out
       E (022100@1)      BOf (x2444x@1)his solitary shell?
